However, he has shown flexibility to play both the point guard and small forward positions, which could mean integrating Temple into more creative lineups with his fellow shooting guards.<\/p>\n<p>With the Kings depth chart and roster still somewhat in flux leading up to training camp, it will be interesting to see if Temple is able to prove himself to Coach Joerger in the early stages of this new-look team.<\/p>\n<p>Should Temple earn himself a consistent spot in the rotation, there very well could be another uptick in his numbers coming off the best season of his career.<br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"width:300px;height:250px;\"><\/ins><br \/>\n\/\/ <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of the free agents the Sacramento Kings
